Use specialized automotive roof repair glue for repairs or visit a 4S shop to replace the roof fabric. Below is relevant information about the falling fabric on the car roof: The situations where the fabric on the car roof falls off are mainly divided into: Adhesive failure in the middle position, adhesive failure at the roof edge, adhesive failure at the front and rear windshields, adhesive failure at the rear seat position, adhesive failure at the roof center joint, and complete roof adhesive failure. Specific operation steps: Step 1: Prepare repair materials: Automotive roof glue: Roof repair requires glue with high adhesive strength and heat resistance to prevent re-falling due to high summer temperatures; screwdriver, towel, waste newspaper, etc., mainly used for removing the roof fabric and cleaning dust. Step 2: Choose the appropriate repair method based on the middle detachment situation.
Last week, the fabric of my car's headliner fell off, sagging down and looking dirty. Fortunately, I managed to fix it myself. The main reason for headliner detachment is adhesive aging, especially in summer when high temperatures soften the glue, causing it to fail. Prolonged sun exposure also accelerates fabric wear. My repair method involved first cleaning the headliner surface with a damp cloth to remove dust, then drying it with a dry cloth to ensure it was clean and free of grease. Next, I applied a specialized automotive-grade strong adhesive spray to both the surface and the fabric, gently pressing it evenly and using weights to secure it for a few days without opening the windows. This method is cost-effective and quick, costing only a few dozen yuan for materials. However, it's important to wear gloves to avoid skin contact with the adhesive and to avoid rainy days to prevent moisture. A sagging headliner not only affects aesthetics but can also obstruct visibility, making timely repairs crucial. For regular maintenance, I try to park in shaded areas to minimize heat exposure and extend the headliner's lifespan.
